Having some power tripping issues and not sure how this system is supposed to work.
When the inverter is set to OFF, and shore power attached should I have power to the 120V plugs (+Frig/Microwave) inside the coach? The manual sort of implies I should as it talks about a shore power AC bypass relay. It only says to charge batteries it must be ON (standby) or CHG while on shore power. With shore power attached i need to set inverter ON or CHG or I get no 120V power - is this expected or is there something wrong with the inverter? I disconnected shore power and started the Geny and behavior was the same. No AC inside the coach unless inverter set to "ON".
On the tripping issue, the park I'm at right now seems to have low voltage on one side of 50A plug. 124V on L1, but 108V on the other. With inverter set to ON, when I monitor Aladdin I see battery current go back and forth from high discharge (like 50-100 amps) to 30-50A charging. My total current draw was about 20-30A so well within 50A limit. And I checked AC limit setting on the inverter was set to 50A. I didn't realize there was a problem until my batteries went dead last night and after some investigation found the low voltage and discovered if I turn off all big 120V "inverter" loads (aqua hot, electric space heater and fridge) that battery doesn't discharge? I have separate Surge Guard on the pedestal and it's not tripping. Even though Surge Guard thinks the voltage is safe the system seems not stable. Is this expected behavior and just a result of that low voltage? Surge Guard manual says it trips at 102V so seems the system should be ok down to there???
